DC Tax Hike to Reward Metro for Failure and Punish Uber and Lyft for Success

In reality, the Metrorail should be thankful to the ridesharing industry for bailing it out when it failed to live up to its expectations of service. But instead of showing their gratitude, the DC City Council has now passed a law that is forcing Lyft and Uber to help subsidize the cost of the Metro's incompetence. In other words, the ridesharing sector is now going to be forced to financially bail out the Metro.
